A customer application deployment consists of two LPARs hosted on the same physical
system; one hosting a back-end database, the other hosting a customer-facing web
application. Since the hardware was ordered, the application design was updated to list a
requirement of a dedicated network link between the two LPARs. Which option would meet
the networking requirements while minimizing expenses?

A.
Purchase two new Ethernet adapters, assign one to each LPAR and connect them with a
cross-over cable.

B.
Purchase a second IVE adapter and assign a logical port to each LPAR. Connect the
ports using a standard Ethernet cable.

C.
Install VIO server and make a Shared Ethernet Adapter, assign this to both LPARs. No
new physical cabling will be required.

D.
Create two Virtual Ethernet adapters within a dedicated VLAN, assign one to each LPAR.
No new physical cabling will be required.
